Calling All Entrepreneurs Ages 18-24
Intel is partnering with top entrepreneurship colleges such as the University of Kentucky, as well as the University of Michigan, Harvard, Stanford and UC Berkeley in an effort to help spread the word to students about Intel Innovators. The program's goal is to celebrate and support entrepreneurial thinking, collaboration and innovation among 18-to-24-year-olds.
Intel Innovators is a nationwide competition to inspire, discover and award the best game-changing ideas up to $100,000 every month. Intel has gathered an impressive panel of startup and technology experts from Ron Conway's SV Angel firm, seed investor Betaworks, and Intel Capital to evaluate submissions and select the most promising ideas. Only ideas with the most Facebook votes will get a shot at winning up to $100,000—no strings attached.
